Description

Hello, my name is Becky. I've been teaching foreigners Chinese for 13 years. I started to create courses on Udemy in 2017. To help foreign learners get high-quality Chinese courses based on the New HSK Standard (2021 edition), I started this new account on Udemy.

This Chinese pronunciation course is Course A for the HSK1 course (Chinese lessons for beginners), which covers all the necessary knowledge about Chinese pronunciation, tips for practicing Chinese pronunciation, hundreds of HSK1 words, and daily expressions. Take it easy! I’ll gradually guide you from one syllable to tone combinations with two syllables, then to short sentences. This course will include 60 video lessons:

Section 1: Introduction to Becky's Chinese lessons for beginners ( Lesson 1-3)

Section 2: Learn Chinese Pinyin one by one (Lesson 4-20, and 9 assignments)

Section 3: Practice tone combinations with HSK1 words (Lesson 21-43)

Section 4: Practice Chinese pronunciation with daily expressions (Lesson 44-51)

There are four courses based on the HSK1 Standard, with Course A focusing on Chinese pronunciation, Course B and Course C emphasizing daily Chinese, then Course D will focus on reading and writing. I'll gradually create those courses and upload them here.

After taking this Chinese pronunciation course, you'll get a solid foundation.

Let's start now!

Who this course is for:

Chinese beginners who would like to begin their Chinese learning.
Chinese learners who would like to pass the HSK1 exam.
Any foreign Chinese learners who would like to improve their Chinese pronunciation.
